ethernet: T5566: disable energy efficient ethernet (EEE) for interfaces

[c-po]

Change Summary

VyOS is a routing (packet pushing) platform, thus supporting EEE which potentially causes issues is not a good idea. Some recent Intel drivers enable EEE by default, thus we will disable this for every NIC supporting EEE.

Types of changes

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Code style update (formatting, renaming)
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Migration from an old Vyatta component to vyos-1x, please link to related PR inside obsoleted component
• Other (please describe):

Proposed changes

Always disable EEE via ethtool

How to test

This has been developed by injecting EEE output provided by @zdc to ethtool.py in lack of hardware.

$ sudo ethtool --show-eee eno1 
EEE settings for eno1:
	EEE status: enabled - active
	Tx LPI: 17 (us)
	Supported EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full
	                           1000baseT/Full
	Advertised EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full
	                            1000baseT/Full
	Link partner advertised EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full
	                                         1000baseT/Full
$ sudo ethtool --set-eee eno1 eee off
$ sudo ethtool --show-eee eno1 
EEE settings for eno1:
	EEE status: disabled
	Tx LPI: 17 (us)
	Supported EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full

$ sudo ethtool --set-eee eno1 eee on
$ sudo ethtool --show-eee eno1 
EEE settings for eno1:
	EEE status: enabled - inactive
	Tx LPI: 17 (us)

	Advertised EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full
	                            1000baseT/Full
	Link partner advertised EEE link modes:  Not reported
